Thanks
Set the Height of the Backrest which it most comfortable for You. Also, I recommend the Adjustable one so You can change positions while riding.

Get a backrest.

Chances are, it will solve your problems.

Mustang Day Tripper with back rest is the ticket with the pull back touring bars. I ride with 1 hand most of the time now. I know thats crazy but I do, it's like sitting in a recliner with your legs strecthed on the hwy bars.
